Torvalds let Claude Code touch the Linux page cache — reviewers found a race

Linus Torvalds accepted an AI-assisted patch, produced with Anthropic's Claude Code, for the Linux kernel's page cache code. Reviewers subsequently found a race condition in the change, reviving debate over whether AI-generated code belongs in the kernel without deeper scrutiny. Kernel developers and observers are weighing the productivity gains of AI coding tools against the risks they pose to the kernel's strict review standards.

Why now: It is a high-profile test of AI-written code in one of the world's most critical codebases, and reviewers found a real flaw.
